Cum% andM'Duffie.—We have been 4 vuiedby a friend with extractsof two kited, dated at Greenville, S.C. on the 31st ult. a#l the 1st Inst, which give the latest intelligeiie of these bclligeranta.

The mountain boys are all in *rmv against them.* X}, S. Stoop of War //ortuft.—We regret to 3cvn from the Norfolk Herald, that a malignant •feter baa appeared among the crew of this ves- •el. The Hornet arrived at Crnne^ Island from ,*es on the 11th ult. was regularly visited by the Health Officer, and permitted to proceed fur thur up, a» her crew wap considered in a health ful state, and no sickness had appeared on board during her cruise. From thence site proceed ed to the navy yard, where Midshipman Zant- •jllnger and Newton commenced breaking up the -ship's hold, ami landing the contents. Mr. Zaiit* finger was soon after attacked with • fever o! * decidedly malignant type, as waa also Mr. New ton, and subsequently seventeen of th$ crew tm doubt p 1 oceeding frotn the deleterious air| confined in tho bold. The Hornet, pursuant to| an order of the Hoard of Health, was towed down on tho 29Ui ult. to the llite of Craney, .Island. Midshipman ZmUinger died on the *^8th ult. and one of the men died ou the eve- ■ uing of the same day. Health tf XtvrYork.—,Seven ooaci of yellow' fever we e reported hy the Hoard of lleulth on the 29th, and four cases and three deaths on the HOth. Si. Paul’s Chapel in Broadway and the JNovUt Dutch Church in William street have •been closed. The city still remained in a state of bustle and confusion, and immense quantities ol goods were moving up Broadway. The New York Gaxctle of the 30ili contains 470 notices of removals. The Inspectors of tho Hoard of .Health have examined three stores in the in- fjeted district, hut have discovered no hides. Greenwich, says the Mercantile Advertiser, is alt alive with merchants and business, a*>d anew ,^oity is made there as if by enchantment, within the last week. The principal shipping is haul ed to tho docks in the neighborhood oi the d'atc .jprison. . The yilliAv fever, whose ravages during the present season in place* hitherto coivj'ulcrud as in a great measure exempt from them, it has been lately a principal duty to record, 1ms ap peared In New London. An extract of a letter from % gentleman in that place ofvthe 2Gth ult oays—“ You will probably hear of our having yellow fever in this place. On Wednesday or Thursday -last, a vessel arrived here fVom "Wilmington,' N. C. with, I think, all tick on board but one. The Health Physician turned the sick over to tho U. B. Hospital Physician, who took t building for them on the Neck, directly in -front of ui,’Wli«rc he placed his four patients -Un Saturday evening, one of them was thonght 1o be dying. Yesterday morning he was walk, ing about the room, apparently convalescent, tnd about 3 o'clock, P. M. was a dead man. Last evening one of the others was very ill, but the .streaming two were apparently better. 1 have got heard from them since.” -S^ain.-The unfortunate situation ofSpain*there ■ean be no doubt it produced by the efforts of the egtntt and hirelings Of the Holy Alliance. We do hope forthe sake of the little constitutional lib- ■erty yet remaining *n Europe, that the>panish -people may be successful-in foiling their inti- nidious attempts. From the complexion of all the intelligence received, the opinion that Fer dinand is in co-operation with hit legitimate brethren in the conspiracy against the rights of his people, appears well founded. A late Lon don paper quotes a letter from an English gen tleman at Bayonne, which throws some light upon this subject. The writer observes—“ Hos tilities with Spain are not expected before th$ end of this or the course of next month. The' plan against that country' is in part detested. It embraced* project to get Ferdinand out of the country, which he was to re-enter at the head of a foreign army. Ilost af the powers were 4nore or lees implicated in this project.” Whe ther or not this be aaying too much, we are not competent to decide. The recent occurrences in Spain however—the attempt made by the -gnardato seize the person of the king ; his un willingness to dismiss them; and their sudden departure tnsnd reception by the French Csr- den Sumtair—oil corroborate it. The attempts of the enemies of liberty hive however, fur 4>ncc been foiled, end wc sincerely hope the •amc fate w iiWttead theta in future. Wt this dif publish the aceminFPren by tbe otlcr party, of the recent ettraordinnry affair •tMillrilgevillc, (as for as it appears in the pa. pir» of that city.) If not written by the Govern jujhimsdt, It evidently was written under his Miction, utd may be di-rmcd semi-official. Be tween thin and the former statement, there in a. obvious di*cicpnncy. The difference is, owever, unimportant to the great question of ic propriety or impropriety of thb Governor's oitdiicl in dcclsring the office of Secretary ot Hate vacant, and appointing a successor to Gol. iMiimond. We think thsl the least Governor Dlark could hate done, would have been to no tify the Secretary's friends tiiat his presence was ruquired, and to have given a sufficient time fur tlam to have dispatched a messenger to him, requiring his attendance at the Scat of go. vernment. If this notice had been disregarded, the Governor might, after a due delay, have proceeded to nominate a successor. It is true, that some evil might hfcVr. resulted from tins course, but much 1cm, we think) than it is pro bable will be the consequence of the step which the Governor has taken. Laying every other consideration aside, wc cannot reflect without puin upon the great and intense excitement winch this affair will produce in the state.— Those who voyage the si ream of politics, should be the last to trouble its waters, li was due to this unfortunate faction-rent state, to permit her to (lose as quietly as possible, through the <n U-rludc of the gubernatorial elections. Her rc pose is sufficiently agitated by the recollection* ol the past and the anticipated struggles of the future. To ail who leel more interested for the honor of our state than for the triumph of a faction, the recent violent transactions at Mil- Icilgevillc must produce the deepest mortifica tion. We have no doubt Ihnt there are many who rejoice in the misconduct of the Governor, because they deem 'll the prelude to his com- [llete discomfiture * an4 that there are otheta* who are gratified at the overthrow of the decre tory of Stale—for motives alike honorable, cfticli we would say, that the peace and quiet ot {lie state are much luoic important thuu the prostration of vne faction or the elevation of an- lot tier. Tow, so long as the present parties thstruct and <W base Hie state, it is of little ini jportance which shall furnish a Governor, or which shall supply a Secretary of State—at best, it is but the triumph of u faction—and we hate such triumphs. It is usually much less a ques tion who sliull be successful, than which party shall succeed; mid in )brniing,tlieir orders of buttle, the bclligcraut factions ure more sedu lous to obtain champions who cun enlist the po litical Bate of the day, than such as may ad vance the .permunenl interests of the slate the true spoil of wifl-furc, the subordinate ac tors in these disgraceful conflicts, Ukc rank in proportion to tin ir powers to injure the enemy —not by open and nit^ly means—stratagems and tricks are usuajjl' most available, and the cunning of Uly sacs is preferred to tbe skill and science of Achilles. Whilst expressing our decided disapproba tion of the Governor, we cannot puss over the violent and disgraceful conduct of Colonel Ham mond to Mr. Whitaker, and to General Clink. Such a course is calculated to Icgaen very much the sympathy of the community; to excite sus picions that ho was not himself qualified for the office which lie had filled, and to add very much to the d.sgust which every reflecting mind must feel at the whole transaction. Laying, however, every thing else aside, we deeply la ment the impression which this affair must make abroad. We cottld disregard tile ridicule of the wits, hut wc a’*e not prepared to bear the dignified disapprobation and cen&ure of the wise and the virtuous. It is a humiliating reflection that whilst with* in the last thirty years Georgia lias rapidly ad vanced in social improvements, mental expan sion—and, in fine, in all that gives charms to so ciety nnu happiness to man, that the same ran. corifU3 antipathies and violent personal parly fends should still exist in our political charac ter which prevailed in the post-revolutionary days f whig and tory ; in the after times of Yu- zoo and anli-Wsoo, and which afterwards in the frontier counties existed between the Lynch and antWLyncli. It is true there is much less blood sited, but the deficit of blood has been amply atoned for in the profusion of ink. If, th< n, a more summary process was adopted to prostrate an enemy, the laws or exile relieved us of the offenders, and the ablation of the par ties was some atonement to society for its vio lated laws. It is perhaps problematical whe ther society has derived much advantage from the change which party warfare has undergone. If personal assaults are les9 frequent, it is un doubtedly true that less reverence is paid to political virtue and integrity. Force of arms has yielded to-force of calumny; and it is truly unfortunate that there is a general fondness among the factionisls for unqualified abuse of their opponents. Without much regard to the general private standing of individuals, it is commonly a maxim that your opponent is a scoundrel and your abettor a man of honor; and an individual may change the hues of his character as oftenos he will change sides. Pass ing ever, however, tbo»consequence.s which suebaatateof things haa produced upon the actors themselves in these scenes, we cannot reflect without shuddering upon the malignant influence which our factions must exercise up on the rising generation. If maxims adopted by many of our local politicians and enforced by their daily examples,,exercise that influence upon our youth, which we cannot but expect, it is impossible to anticipate without the deep est sorrow the character of our politics twenty year* lienee. To trace the causes which have produced and perpetuated the present state ol parties, i« the function rather of the historian than the editor of an ephemeral publication, ft is however a subject of much importance to the state, and would afford matter of deep interest to the iiatcamtu»..d the phifosephefc Severius Lovlck, F.iq. has been rteogniaed by the President of the United States, as Consul General of his Swedish Majesty, to reside at Philadelphia. Midshipmen Boganlus, of Ncw-Y*rk, and Du pont, of Wilmington, and Mr. B. W. Edcs, all of the American squadron, have arrived at Bos ton, in the Silly Anti, from Sicily.

It was said that he had been de lected carrying on a secret correspondence with the North, with a view to revolutionize that quarter. The pnpsl dominions, says the National Ga zettc, are now the chief refuge of the Greeks who fly from the Turkish scymetar. An arti cle under the head of Ancona, states, that one hundred and eleven of them who had escaped from the massacre at Scin, had arrived in that city and were maintained at the public expense. " Till* conduct of the Vapal' government (says the Ancona article) is stirringly contrasted with thut of the British government of the Ionian Isles, > where the miserably Christian fugitives fromTurkish barbarity are .refused an asylum .The Greeks, who lu^ve arrived among us, aver that they have been sacrificed by the Russians, who haye fedtlicm, for the fifty years past,' with vain promises rndihopes.’' A letter frork Halifax, 17fh ult. says, “ Tbe new Acts have iW.n received here, and the du ty on Flour has Wendy, in one instance) been exacted—a schnWer just arrived from New- York, has paid jS-V‘2 on her cargo. The Acts have occasioned tfiore anxiety than satisfaction on this side of the' water.

In the deserted p^rt of the city of New*Yovk, some interest has belfn exched in behalf of the Feline Race, who hatv been left shut up in the different houses, a prey not to disease only, which their owners hail fled ffoin, but to ull-tlic horrors of starvation, which is evinced by tlieii Itorrid squallings. One of the watchmen was surrounded by about a dozen cats, supplicating most pitinusly for food; and another person, in the lower part of Broadway, was set upon by so many at once, that he took to his lieula for safe ty Every day’s experience proves the necessity of a thorough reform in the penitentiary system of those s'ates which have adopted it. As at present conducted, it is neither more nor less than a school for every kind of villainy. An or ganized system of counterfeiting and altering bank notes, has recently been discovered within the walls of the Baltimore Penitentiary. One of the deputy keepert was discovered to be en gaged in the plot, Genuine notes were fur. nished to the convicts engaged in the business, in exchange for those counterfeited by them, Four of the convicts were concerned, one of whom cut the dies, whilst the other thr* e were employed in disseminating the spurious notes by letters to their colleagues without the walls, and receiving genuine ones in return. A num ber of plutcs and dies were discovered in a bag which was stowed away in tbe loft of one o* the departments.

A parcel, con tabling £759, had been found concealed be hind the plastering of an out-house, near which one of the persons arrested had been seen lurk ing. A St. Petefsburgh article, of the 14th June states, that the Emperor Alexander on his re. turn to that capita), from his palace of Czarskoe- zelo, ordered a rouble t a pound of meat, and flat* ofbrandy to be given to each soldier of the corps, which he had been reviewing. The trial of Lecliler, For the murder of his wife and Mrs. Haig, commenced at York (Pa.) on the 21st ult.

Captain Uarns, of ihe brigantine George Beckwith, (arrived in Hampton Ruuds on YVetlnestluy) from Ponce, states, that the seas about Porto Rico are annoyed with Spanish privateera, and that their depre dntiuns arc an frequent und vexatious, that a vessel, however legal may be tier pur suits, is not hy any means safe if she is fallen in with by them. The brig Gen. A. Jackson, Langdon, nf and from New York for Curacoa, was fallen in with by a felucca of this description, when, after a- verhauling her papers, they were pro nounced apurioos or false, the privateers men declaring that they knew she was bound to the Main, and immediately pro ceeded to rob and plnnder Capt. Langdon, in whose possession they found nnly six teen doubloons in money, which they soon deprived him of, took his vessel into Ponce for trial, which was progressing when the G. Beckwith sailed, and there was little d ubt but she would be con demned—Before the privateersmen, how. ever, had got their prize into Ponce, they deprived Capt. Langtlun of Ida command, having first beaten him in a most unmerci ful manner over his face and every part nf his body, and then turned him ashore and when Capt, Barns saw him, which was just as he sailed, he was hardly able to move about, living upon the charity uf soch Americans as were there and able to assist him. An English brig called the Zelina of London, from Cadiz bound to Vera Cruz, laden with quicksilver and the brig Phoebe of St. Johns, (N. B.) from Laguiru bound to Hamburgh, laden with a valuable car go of coffee and cocoa, had both been cap tured by this description of privateers, carried into Ponce, tried, and with their cargoes condemned.

The greatest effort* are to he made to secure from every dan ger, or invasion, the faithful provinces of.
